Psaume 37:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:24

Though he fall
Into temptation, and by it into sins, and these very great ones; from a lively and comfortable exercise of grace, and a degree of steadfastness in the doctrine of grace:

he shall not be utterly cast down;
because he is in the arms of everlasting love, and in the hands of Christ Jesus; is on him as the sure foundation, and is kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, and so shall not perish, but have everlasting life;

for the Lord upholdeth [him with] his hand;
with the right hand of his righteousness, and keeps him from falling finally and totally; see ( Isaiah 41:10 ) ; and (See Gill on Psalms 37:17).

Psaume 37:24 In-Context

22 Car ceux qu'il bénit hériteront la terre, mais ceux qu'il maudit seront retranchés.
23 Les pas de l'homme de bien sont affermis par l'Éternel, et il prend plaisir à sa voie.
24 S'il tombe, il ne sera pas entièrement abattu, car l'Éternel lui soutient la main.
25 J'ai été jeune, et je suis devenu vieux; mais je n'ai point vu le juste abandonné, ni sa postérité mendiant son pain.
26 Tous les jours il a compassion et il prête, et sa postérité est bénie.
